A mere 30 minutes away from the villas, in the town of Benidorm, are various theme parks for children:

• Mundomar park. Here you can watch a dolphin and sea lion show, parrots, turtles and tortoises.
• Terra Natura park. In this nature park, you can meet animals from various corners of the world and learn a lot of new things about their habitats.
• Aqualandia (next to the Mundomar park) and Aqua Natura (which shares the grounds with the Terra Natura park).

These parks have water attractions for children of all ages. The youngest will be the happiest in shallow pools and low slides. Older children can enjoy themselves by having a go at steeper and higher slides.

• Terra Mítica is the most famous attraction park for children and adults.

Lady Elizabeth School is an international secondary school in Spain, which is 15 minutes away from the villas. In the summer, the school runs an international camp for foreign students to study the English and Spanish languages. For many students, Lady Elizabeth School Summer Camp means an opportunity to study for admission to a regular secondary school. The language camp on the picturesque coast of Costa Blanca is an excellent parenting choice.

It takes 2.5 hours to reach the island of Ibiza by ferry from the town of Denia.

The Spanish island of Ibiza sits in the Mediterranean Sea to the east of the Iberian Peninsula and is part of the Balearic Islands. The island is quite small: a little over 570 sq. km. The Ibiza port town was founded by Phoenician colonists in antiquity. It has well-preserved ramparts, put up in the 16th century for defence against Turkish pirates.

The town still has narrow paved streets, medieval mansions and castles. The crystal clear, warm waters around the island bring in diving enthusiasts.

Clubs are Ibiza's hallmark. Night life and club culture make the island a popular tourist destination.
